Baby Body Odour

[MMOMM]

I've just noticed my baby has armpit odour! It smells like adult B.O. When I google this topic I get scared because it talks about hormone problems or metabolic diseases. Baby seems very healthy otherwise. I wash the armpits with soap and within an hour the smell is back. Has anyone's baby gone through this?

Is there a possibility that it is yeast? Yeast has a very distinct smell though that I would not normally attribute to B.O. My chunky babies would get yeast in all of their creases if I wasn't careful. It thrives in warm, moist and dark locations. You can try corn starch and keeping them dry or try some topical yeast cream if it was.

both my girls had stinky feet as babies. and they have showers or baths daily so no reason to stink but they did they are healthy.
